Abstract

The kk-edge-colored bipartite Gallai-Ramsey number bgrk(G:H)\operatorname{bgr}_k(G:H) is defined as the minimum integer nn such that n2kn^2\geq k and for every NnN\geq n, every edge-coloring (using all kk colors) of complete bipartite graph KN,NK_{N,N} contains a rainbow copy of GG or a monochromatic copy of HH. In this paper, we first study the structural theorem on the complete bipartite graph Kn,nK_{n,n} with no rainbow copy of K1,3K_{1,3}. Next, we utilize the results to prove the exact values of bgrk(P4:H)\operatorname{bgr}_{k}(P_4: H), bgrk(P5:H)\operatorname{bgr}_{k}(P_5: H), bgrk(K1,3:H)\operatorname{bgr}_{k}(K_{1,3}: H), where HH is a various union of cycles and paths and stars.
